on trial here mid within six

Ttie prosecutor described the mnr*

avmltted In the Canal Zone." Black
,H. ho old man. wua a night watcfc
'owii ut h remote dynamite magazine
ta ? pit shout a mile from the Atlan
ta entrance to jthe canal. , McCloud,
Loper and Williams, two of whom
, bad been released from Jail not long
before, plotted to steal dynamite and
ppa, with the necessary fuses, and
'r Li down the coast cypd well their
a^oilK to fishermen. They stole a flat
Ijoitomed boat, sailed up a narrow dl
*erfloi) channel to within a short dis
tance of the dynamite storehouse,
gently stole up to the hodse, which
>VpM guarded hy the watchman; and
, pked for some dynamite. Oiji the
i ^ratcliioiin K refusal to give . if they
lilt him on the Vend with a hluck
|tolth'? hummer, then tied a rope
-|romul Ids neck nnd stahhed him in
Hie throat, They st<^e 12 boxes of
dynamite, placed them In their boat,
sailed down the diversion channel,
hid their spoils to he carried away ft
'Jeisure and went their several ways.
This tt'M itf one o'clock In the jmorn
fcg. and Rlaekett's body was not dis
covered ? until three o'clock, when a
pitchman came to relieve him.
Quickly Apprehertdsd.
| By ten o'clock that night two of the
Borderers were In custody ; the third
was apprehended next day. Most peo-1
pie on the Zone thought there was no
inch thing ds cnpltal punishment pn
the statute hooks, but they were mis
taken, and three men have bdphv
hinged since the American, occupa
tion of the Canal Zone ? in 1908 and
1909? for murder in, the first degree.
The feeling among the residents on
the Isthmus ran high 'against the ac
cused, especially among their own
people. The negroes on the isthmus,*
*a?a rule, are peace-loving, and while
. they will do much talking in their
quarrels they seldom come to blows.
That their countrymen would kill an
other was beyond their comprehen
non. -
McClotid, Lopez and Williams were
arraigned before tlie magistrates'
court and held for murder and grand
larceny for the district court. On the
day of the trial excitement was at its
highest. It was feared that an at
tempt would he made to take the
prisoners from the pdllce, and every
effort waft made to insure their safety..
The courtroom is on the third floor of
the Masonic temple, in the very cen
ter of the city, and on the border/li?e ]
of the ('anal Zone and the Republic |
of Panama. The building i# equipped,
with fire escapes, and these were
packed with negroes anxious to get
? look at the men who had disgraced
their race. They would have been
glad to pass and execute Judgment on
the accused. '
Ably Defended. ?
Judge llanan designated three of
the most able lawyers practicing in
the Canal Zone courts to defend the
roorderers. Judge C. P. Falrman, an
American lawyer of high standing,
was named to defend McCloud, while
W. C. Todd and L. &. Carrington,
both of Colon, were appointed to de
fend Williams and Lopez.
The three on \trial for their lives
paid little attention to the proceed
ings exrppt when" on the witness
itand. Tlion each admitted taking
part In the murder, but each denied
being tin? man who did the actual
Wiling, each blaming the other. The
government's cose was so closely
woven about them that there was no
chance for osrnpe.
